Relic Home Today

The Mt. Pleasant Relic Home is said to be the place where the final Black Hawk Treaty was signed. This event benefited not only the residents of Mt. Pleasant but also every settlement in the south central Utah area. We also just discovered in the history collection “Utah History since Statehood” that our Relic Home was actually designed by Brigham Young. Brigham, a carpenter by trade, actually laid the planks in the front hall.

PLEASE COME VISIT US!

We are located at 150 South State Street, Mt. Pleasant, Utah. We are currently open Monday thru Friday between 1 and 3:00 p.m. We can also open by appointment. If you would like to visit our Relic Home and want to make special arrangements please email us at pandk@cut.net. Entrance is free to the public and donations are gratefully accepted.

History comes alive when someone is able to not only read about the past, but also able to visit the places, see the artifacts, appreciate the images, read the actual words. For most people, history starts with learning about their family or their community. Imagine trying to discover your genealogy without anything tangible to search. Preservation of our heritage is a vital link to cultural, educational, aesthetic, inspirational, and economic legacies — all of the things that quite literally make us who we are. History plays a vital role in our everyday lives. We learn from our past in order to achieve greater influence over our future. History serves as a model of who to be and who not to be — of what to champion and what to avoid. Every day, decision-making around the world is based on what came before us.

Why?

Because history matters. ~~~ Steve Berry
